Belagavi-based Karnatak Law Society’s Raja Lakhamgouda Law College, one of the oldest law colleges in the country, has a unique reason to cheer.
As many as five of the sitting judges of the High Court of Karnataka are former students of the college. The college, which was started in 1939, will felicitate these judges at a ceremony in Belagavi on Saturday.
“Chief Justice of the High Court Prasanna B. Varale will felicitate the judges on the college campus near Rani Parvati Devi Circle in south Belagavi at 4.30 p.m. Mr. Varale will also address members of the Belagavi Bar Association and the college students. He will felicitate High Court judges Sachin Shankar Magadum, Ravi Venkappa Hosmani, K.S. Hemalekha, Anil Bheemsen Katti and Ramachandra D. Huddar,” chairman of the Governing Council of the college M.R. Kulkarni told journalists in Belagavi on Thursday.
